Mary Kay Battaglia, Executive Director of Nami Wisconsin, graduated with a BS in Health and Biology from Texas A&M University. She pursued her Master’s in Public Health at University of Texas in Houston, while working as a research coordinator at Baylor College of Medicine. While at Baylor she did research and coordinated studies including the NIH CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Study) which included a sub study on mental status pre and post-surgery. She also worked as a Clinical Research Associate for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and oversaw many studies in the southwest region of the country. While taking a pause from paid professional work (but worked very hard as a mom of 3) she became engaged in volunteering throughout her community. With family members who live with a serious mental illness and her passion for volunteering, NAMI was a perfect fit to return to paid work. She was the Program Coordinator for NAMI Wisconsin for 3 years and in the fall of 2019 was promoted to Executive Director.
